Abstract: Subpart A of Regulation K - International Banking Operations (12 CFR Part 211), governs the foreign investments and activities of member banks, Edge and agreement corporations, bank holding companies (BHCs), and certain investments by foreign organizations. Subpart C of Regulation K governs investments in export trading companies by eligible investors. The FR K-1 information collection contains eleven attachments, discussed below, for the application and notification requirements in Subparts A and C of Regulation K. The Board requires these applications for regulatory and supervisory purposes and to allow the Board to fulfill its statutory obligations under the Federal Reserve Act (FRA) and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act). The applications are event-generated and provide the Federal Reserve with information necessary to evaluate each of the proposed transactions.

The reporting burden is based on the average number of applications and notifications filed during a typical year. The disclosure burden associated with Attachment F reflects the amount of time required to fulfill the newspaper publication requirement for that attachment.
